Suburban Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document (SPD2)

London Borough of Croydon, Spatial Planning Service

Submission Summary:

SPD2 has been developed in response to the need to plan for more homes in Croydon and to help inform the design of our suburbs for the future. Its innovative nature has been recognised by the planning and architecture professions and is now informing the preparation of similar guides by other local authorities. The Greater London Authority have welcomed SPD2 as the first of its kind, using it to help inform their forthcoming Housing Design Guide Supplementary Planning Guidance. SPD2 has also been welcomed by the community, responding to concerns over what their neighbourhoods will look like in the future.
